L'Occitane TSV 25/10/09

[Fallen Angel]

Gone for the Floral option, after changing my mind 100 times.

 

[Judith]

I've gone for two warm options to split up as presents.
I've just read in the paper that L'Occitane have opened a boutique in the Metro Centre so will have to check it out next week.

 

[Bling It On]

Just placed my order for 2 of the Floral option and they're both for me (not that I'm greedy or anything!)

 

[Bluebell]

Unfortunately Aberdeen is s**t for shopping - very little choice of anything. For the size of it and it's "oil capital of Europe" name tag, it really is dire. So this is probably the best deal that I would get on L'Occitane to be honest. And when you like absolutely everything in the TSV as I do - I think it's not bad.

At least Aberdeen has got a L'occitane shop aragorn

Very true - I can always drop stuff off in Elgin for you if you're desperate! I paid £32 for a tub of almond body stuff though and it was 200ml - the 400ml on qvc was £44. That's why for me, although the TSV isn't cheap, it's still better than buying things directly from the shop. You're supposed to be getting a Debenhams in Elgin though aren't you? They should bring some things a bit closer for you :clapping:.

Oh Brenny I'm so sorry - how rotten. You will not settle until you know for definite will you - I know what that's like? I'm sure all fully comp policies cover windscreens bar the excess - does it say on your paper copy or the internet? Hope you get it sorted out quickly - try not to worry :flower:.

Thank you aragorn0130
Its lovely of you to post , Yep I can't settled until I know , you are so right .
It serves me right for being so smug with the beloved leaderrene of the FARTS !
I will be fine once they have been and sorted it ( or not ) on Monday . I hope veryone who gets the TSV enjoys it in good health . Bx

Where I am, we don't have any outlet shops - the nearest is Glasgow. I get very excited when I'm visiting family and have a day at Cheshire Oaks. My son pushes me past various shops telling me I don't need any more of this, that and the next thing! but it's always nice to look.

Aberdeen is not that bad for shopping,when i've been there i've felt that there were TOO many ****** shops,plus you've got that Union Square shopping complex opening in a week,so you'll have even more choice......... I hear they will even have a Yo Sushi............ah civilization!,lol.

Not too keen on this TSV,plus Alexis's superior air works my very last nerve!

There's a lot of stuff shut down over the past few years, particularly the more 'individual' stores? You're left with mostly chain stores which isn't great for something different. But yes, Union Square will have some good stuff - as well as the chain store 'second shops' that they all seem to be putting in! Just how many Next shops does one place need??????

Aye - Alexis. Prepare for the 'rose wedding tale' YET AGAIN........... :sleepy:

I thought a new shopping centre was due to open close to the bus station?

That's the Union Square one - a lot of good shops and a lot of carp shops are going in there (the 4th Next, umpteenth Top Shop/Miss Selfridges), a Mama's and Papas????, Zara (yay) and a big cinema to go with the 3 we already have. Hmmmmmm, sooper. There are others but I can't remember so I can't have been that excited at the list?

 

[Jasper]

I want one of each TSV because I'm shallow and I cannot decide. Plus they both have things in them that I want and I think it's worth the money (even if it is £90) because I won't need anymore for ages. Plus there is always the advantage that you have things there for a forgotten Christmas present if necessary! Is that what you've asked for as a birthday gift? I do that too - or I ask for a big Lush box full of stuff to keep me going. I likes to be hours in the bath I does....... can you tell?

I have oredered both options, SS, and have paid more money for fewer items at the outlet shop. Are you looking for sth specific?

It’s good value, if it's stuff you would normally buy, I like the Cherry Blossom and Grape shower gels, that are in the Floral option and they normally retail for around Cherry Blossom Shower Gel 250ml @ £12.50 (500ml) £25 and the Grape Shower Oil (250ml) around £15-18, which works out at practically the price of the TSV give or take a couple of pounds, not taking into account QVC’s exorbitant P&P. Great for foam baths.:cheeky:

This is one of the few times where high p&p is justifiable; item too heavy and it certainly costs more to ship (one pays £3.95 p&p for a pair of earrings). xx

 

[watersiren]

Hmmm, that's the thing, WS, I'm not really after anything specific. I have tried one of the L'Occitane body lotions (the rose shimmering one, is it Nuit de Mai? I can't recall now) and it's fab. I love the shea handcream too. So, I have decided that I would like to try more from the range. However, to be honest, I think I'd rather splurge on body lotions than shower gels, or at least a combination of both. I don't know any of the products in the TSV, so I'm not sure that I would like them. I like the fact that I can have a good sniff before buying in the shop...

If you go to a store/outlet, SS, please get the extra gentle, shea butter lotion (they are currently selling it in the Bicester outlet). I found it is the only cream that can calm irritation after shaving, epilation, etc. xx

Oh that sounds lovely, I'll keep an eye out, as Bicester is where I'll be heading... Might have to go earlier than planned!! Thanks WS :hi:

lol
Don't forget the almond oil SG that her mum recommend to us as a bathgel when she was pregnant.
And the milk SG she uses on her 2 boys
The rose shampoo she uses on her hair: but beware, it leaves your hair limp and greasy. From what I can see, she should definitely not use this on her hair!
The bonne mere soaps and the bl@@dy story behind the name: there is NO STORY dear Alexis, it is only an old fashioned sounding name that matches this soap. There are no stories behind the products. They are just good quality products with nice classy packaging, that is the story behind the products

yawn yawn, she gets on me t%ts
